Around −30700 DR, a number of lammasu defeated a much larger force of Aearee-Krocaa, killing one thousand. The aearee later experimented on domesticated landwyrms to create winged wyrms, or wyverns. Supported by wyvern forces, the Aearee-Krocaa empire commenced a rapid expansion.[1]

Many thousands of years later, Captain Eartharran Neirdre of Evermeet sought a lost city of the creator races and discovered a floating city off the northern coast of Anchorome. It contained statues of the inhabitants, and Eartharran named the race "aearee". However, dragons assaulted and destroyed Eartharran's flying ship, which crashed on an island north of where Fort Flame later stood.[3]

In the mid–14th century DR, the question of whether dragons or some avian race were one of the creator races was a long-running debate among scholars. Loremaster Ignace Dethingeller discovered the remains of Eartharran's ship and journal, and communicating his discovery of the aearee city to First Reader Tethtoril of Candlekeep in the late 14th century.[3]

The aearee created or were the ancestors of the following races and creatures:

According to Captain Eartharran Neirdre's sketches of statues found in a reputedly aearee city, the aearee were a humanoid race with both avian and draconic features, including both feathers and scales. Eartharran wondered if they were descendants of dragons who'd evolved bird-like features, or an ancestor of both avian and draconic creatures.[2]
